Comments Thread For: David Haye Says "Heavy" Weight Will Not Stop a KO Win

[dmaclv]

HAYE WEIGHS MORE CUZ DUDE HAS BEEN BULKING UP WITH UPPPER BODY WEIGHTS IN THE GYM!!! That's why he weighs the most he's ever weighed, cuz he's been working with heavy dumbells since what? Summer 2008? Almost two years of working with weights in the gym, it's eventually gonna increase his weight. Look at Holyfield and how he gained weight after turnin heavy, cuz they work with a lot of upperbody weight in the weight room.

Weigh in picture:


Looks good to me, i think today you need more than 220 pounds as an heavyweight. It will help him to smash Ruiz into retirement. His chest and shouldermuscle look stronger.

Good photo. LOL at braddman claiming he looks fat. If braddman thinks that's a photo of someone who is fat, he really needs to see an optician.

What I get out of this is that he didn't train as hard for this fight and that's got to be a little discouraging if your a Haye fan. Not to say that's he going to lose, but the fact that apparently isn't willing to put in 100% with each fight.

He trained harder for this fight than for any previous fight. He's added a bit of weight intentionally, by doing more weight training and more work with the tyre.

He looks a lot stronger and like a natural Heavyweight now. before he was ripped as **** but skinnier and looked like a Cruiserweight coming into Heavyweight (which is what he was) he looks more settled in now. Also, it could be due to their gameplan and how they think Ruiz is going to fight.

I'd wait for the fight till you start stressing over a few pounds and making crazy predictions.

Well we all know how Holyfield really did it.

Good grief.

10k bet?

As I said previously, I'm not betting pts here on Ruiz because I have no idea what the evil life guard has left at 38. He could be tough as hell or get KO'd in one round.

I might place a small monetary wager on Ruiz just for the hell of it, though.

Why do people keep implying that David Haye is a steroid user? It's not really very fair to the lad.

You don't want to bet worthless points on Ruiz, but you might bet money on him?

I'd believe that but all I see is a guy who looks a little softer then the last time around meaning I don't think the weight gain came from adding on lean muscle. They didn't even give a solid explanation for it in the article. Instead they're just basically saying "don't worry about it".

It isn't, but there are so many precedents that there's bound to be a su****ion. There's strong evidence that Holyfield took HGH, and Toney was caught taking steroids,

Roy Jones also tested positive for steroids in 2000, although to be fair to Jones, it seems that was in a legal nutritional supplement, sold over the counter at that time, which he may not have realised contained a steroid. And that was three years before he fought at heavyweight, and AFAIK there's no evidence that he took any steroids in 2003. Nevertheless, the fact that all three of the Cruisers who were successful at heavyweight in recent times have been implicated in PED use means that su****ion is bound to fall on Haye, even if unjustified.
